"When I was growing up, and all these factory teams would win races, Iwas sure they had these $100,000 engines and that was why they went sofast. I was wrong," said Tracy. "This is my first year on a factory motorcycle andI'll tell you that bike was box-stock. It had some carbon, and fewtweaks and that was it. That motorcycle is crazy fast."
